Not really thrilled that we’re going out for German food Friday night. 
I really shake my head at HS students who have their dream school as part of their user name before acceptances are released.
Although it makes you feel less smart and successful, it sure it better to be around people smarter than you. It gives you inspirations!
I don’t like being bullied by small people with big egos.
I love getting Christmas cards from my cousins, but please please please don’t use black 6 point font on a grey background !
Absolute power corrupts absolutely…smug much?
Once again, what are you doing all day in that office? You gave her a real fright. Wow. Just wow.
patagonia.com, you are my corporate hero.
All I want for Christmas is a new pancreas. And then lots and lots of carbs…
Why does it put me in a Grinchy mood when I receive a Christmas card this early in the mail?
Wow, we actually had an amiable private road association meeting! Maybe there’s hope! We’ll see what happens when we start levying dues sufficient to repave a half-mile long road, though…
MTA: My advice is to never buy property on a private road. What a headache.
Fire all of them. All. Every. Single. One.
Feeling sad for someone. Not everyone is whom they appear to be. Hard lessons especially when it concerns the heart. Worse yet, they accept no blame. Ugh. Dig a hole, make it deeper.
June 1st: OMG, I am 270lb. How will I ever hit 200lb?
August 19th: Wow I am already at 220lb. Maybe I can go further than 200lb.
Today: Wow, 180lb? That’s like my high school sophomore weight! And I haven’t done single workouts!(no bashing on those who do exercise! I m just lazy as heck)
my mother’s instinct was not wrong. sadly.
Feels like piling on - please let there be a good outcome…and I still need to take some rocks out of my wagon!
You’re one of the kindest, nicest people I know. You have every reason to be snotty – you’re so pretty, your children are gorgeous and very successful – yet there’s not a vain or superior bone in your body. The older I get the more I believe in karma, and today, you got your dose of the best karma there is. A wildfire raged, is still raging, in your neighborhood. All three houses surrounding your home burned down… your lovely, beloved house is still standing. I don’t know how that happened, probably “one of those things,” an inexplicable stroke of luck. Or, maybe, the universe treated you the way you’ve always treated everyone else: with kindness and generosity. I’m so glad.
I threw a hissy fit, the first in many years, and it got results. Not sure I like that whole experience. But I DID get results, so…
Lots and lots of posts still asking for essay reviews.
I simply don’t understand why they’re not done yet. I’m not criticizing-- we don’t all approach things the same way and I get that. I just don’t understand the mindset of not doing this well ahead of this point on the calendar.
Then again, my Christmas shopping is already done and mostly wrapped, so you can see the way I approach deadlines.
Note to the current Juniors: this summer, when its’s sweltering and you’re bored with nothing to do: why not find a nice air conditioned room and start your Common App essay??
I just plain don’t want to gear up for surgery again, especially once again at the holidays and even more now that my husband is already crumbling under work and elderly parent stress and my siblings have so much of the caregiving load for our own elderly parents to be able to be there for me. I am really sad and angry that it seems unreasonable for me to ask for support, because I know I don’t deserve to feel so alone.
